Same camera as 1020 if you like, but latest internals like 930 but with MicroSD slot. 32Gb is just not enough. Size of 930 feels about right, I just need a replacement for my 808 and 1020 is just not fast enough or has enough memory.

As WP users, we all love the unique experience that windows phone gives us compare to other mobile OSes.
One of those important feature is the back button. Please, don't do it. It allow the user to easily move around the UI and is already used very effectively by most of the developers.
This is one change I can't stand by.

change the white color windows hardware button to blue yellow red and green colors, this will make all of the windows phone devices look shiny, as a windows phone user i would like to see this improvement on future windows devices (WP8)

Windows Phone 8 devices finally bring a lot of Office power. They may have excellent on-screen keyboards, but split-screen edits of Office documents are not ideal, and do not do the device justice.

An NFC-only keyboard exists for Android, while Bluetooth or USB(otg) keyboards can be used with Android, Apple or Symbian^3 devices. Microsoft has always created excellent keyboards, and the Surface RT supports a keyboard dock. This is why complete lack of keyboard options on WP8 is bizarre.

Please support a Windows 8 phone with a slider keyboard like the Nokia E7, support a wireless charging NFC keyboard for Lumia 820/920 and/or support Bluetooth keyboards already out there.

NOKIA is a well recognized brand all over the world. Its also a major reason for the traction WP is experiencing over the last two years. We hate the see the brand name vanish. Keep the name Nokia...Please!

Don't remove the Nokia branding from hardware, as this will drastically cut into sales of Lumia devices. People unfortunately don't buy Windows Phones, they buy Nokia devices. The Nokia name has much better perception in many non-US nations, which is where the bulk of Windows Phone sales are coming from. Dropping the name would hurt Windows Phone and make Android gain even more marketshare.

With the help of most Xbox employees, Microsoft should go for handsets that can interact well with the motion and detection of our body using the Kinect technology that these handsets would perform any specific task when the sensors within them detects the motion / tense applied by any parts of our body. [ Interaction through air gesture & palm / Interaction through the movement of our eyes & mouth / Interaction through the motion of our head ]. The front camera should also be able to recognize our face / detect fast motions of our head / eyes with the help of other integrated sensors.
Screen sensitivity is also another feature which helps to detect our gestures on air. These handsets also should support voice commands just like Xbox and wish good luck programming this feature under Cortana !
